Daniel Molière

"Clandestine is a richly opulent feminine floral fragrance from the mid-1980s. Its opening combines juicy plum and pineapple with aldehydic brightness, cassia, and bergamot. The heart is lavishly floral, pairing tuberose, rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, carnation, iris, and heliotrope with a pronounced honeyed sweetness. Its base becomes warm, animalic, resinous, and woody through civet, benzoin, amber, patchouli, vanilla, musk, and cedar. The overall character is mysterious, sensual, bold, and distinctly vintage in style. It is especially suited to evening wear, cooler weather, and occasions where a dramatic floral presence is desired."

Reviews Summary

“Clandestine is regarded as a cult vintage feminine floral with a dense, opulent character. The fragrance moves from fruity brightness into an ornate floral heart before settling into a sweet, warm, animalic base. Its bold projection and dramatic 1980s styling make it more suitable for evening wear than understated daily use.”
